He went 924 days without a win on tour and throughout the time endured a life altering marriage scandal, corporate sponsorship drops, parted ways with his caddie and multiple injuries.

None of that seemed to matter as Tiger Woods putted out to win the Arnold Palmer Invitational on Sunday. The win was his first in 27 tour events and moves him to No. 6 in the world golf rankings.

Like him or not it was nice to see him win again.

Tiger is one of the fittest golfers on tour and revolutionized the sport with his intense training regimens. Most have followed suit and you’d be hard pressed to find guys on tour that don’t hit the gym regularly.

Follow the 20 Minute Golf Workout to help improve your core rotational strength, balance and add 10 yards to your drive.

Watch below to see how it’s done:
 

20 Minute Golf Workout

Golf Circuit

 
Warm up:

 
 
Rest briefly and repeat warm-up circuit 2 more times.

Once warm-up is completed rest 60 seconds and go immediately into this full body circuit:

 
 
Rest 10-20 seconds between each exercise. Once you complete all 5 exercises in sequence, rest for 60 to 75 seconds and then go back to exercise # 1. Repeat the circuit 3 more times for a total of 4 sets.

Alternate between the above workout and the original 20 Minute Golf Circuit 3 times per week for 4 weeks and you’ll be driving the ball like Tiger in no time.

The family is in town this week for my cousins wedding. Even with all the running around, family barbecues and get-togethers the boys and I managed to squeeze in 18 holes early Sunday morning.

The setting was beautiful Nicklaus North Golf Course 2 minutes north of Whistler Village and the weather was perfect.

Between the black bears and brew-skis we got to talking about how fit the guys on the PGA tour were these days.

With the exception of a few the game of golf is being played more and more by athletes. It’s becoming a sport where the mental game melds into the physical. To be able to compete on tour these days you need to have both- distance and control.

Unfortunately for all of us weekend warriors we don’t have the skill to hone our short game to PGA standards. What we can do is invest a little time in our conditioning and in doing so impress the lads with drives into the 3-hundreds.

Before you dust off the irons this weekend check out the Golf Specific 20 Minute Exercise Circuit below.

The circuit utilizes elements of strength, power, balance and flexibility that when combined can improve your distance off the tee by at least ten yards or more.

Who couldn’t use a little extra length?

Here’s the best part- with the extra distance, your mates will be buying the beer on the 19th hole!

Cheers,

Jonny
